Hugh Jackman has branded new mother Cate Blanchett a “superwoman” for committing herself to a two-day Australian conference - just six days after giving birth to her third child.

The X-Men star was in attendance at Saturday’s Australia 2020 summit - where he encouraged native Australian actors working abroad to return home for projects - and was stunned to see the 38-year-old arrive at Parliament House in Canberra with her newborn son in tow. The actress, who welcomed Ignatius Martin Upton last week, handed the child to her playwright husband Andrew Upton, and proceeded to take her place among 1,000 fellow delegates to help moderate a debate during the arts segment of the talkfest.

Jackman, 39, says, “Cate Blanchett is superwoman. She is amazing on every level. I think she is flawless as a person.”

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett left the hospital with her baby son Ignatius Upton yesterday.

The Aussie actress spent three days in North Sydney’s Mater Hospital, where little Ignatius was born on Sunday.

Upon her return home, the actress was thrilled to see her sons Dashiell and Roman had stuck a “Welcome home Mum and Iggy” sign on a window at the family’s home in nearby Hunters Hill.

And baby makes five for Cate Blanchett and her writer-director husband, Andrew Upton.

Their third child, son Ignatius Martin, was born Sunday at a Sydney hospital, according to Australian magazine WHO. Just two days earlier Blanchett had attended her younger sister’s university graduation.

The couple, who are based in Australia, already have two sons: Dashiell John, 5, and Roman Robert, 3.

In November, when she confirmed her pregnancy, Blanchett, 38, was informed of rumors that she was carrying a boy, prompting her to respond: “You know more than me. It’s early days yet. It’s due in April.”

The Aviator Supporting Actress Oscar winner and Upton are currently co-directors of the Sydney Theater Company – a career move partly made in the interests of her children. Elder son Dashiell, says his mom, “needs to be settled, and I respect that.”

And the new little one seemed settled, too – even at February’s Oscars. As Blanchett – with a very full belly – strolled the red carpet, she told People, “He’s actually asleep – believe it or not, which bodes well.”

Cate Blanchett, in flowing Dries Van Noten, was feeling “pregnant” Sunday on the Oscar red carpet, but says her baby wasn’t feeling a thing.

Presenter and nominee for Best Actress, the expectant mom seemed to reveal her unborn baby’s gender when she said, “He’s actually asleep – believe it or not, which bodes well.”

She took home a Film Independent’s Spirit Awards Saturday, which she dedicated to her I’m Not There costar Heath Ledger.
